That's the point of the Kindle setup. You grant a push window for amazon to do basically anything they wish. Now they may not wish much, but it's their choice, not yours. Nor do you have to be singled out, you just have to be in the target zone (sic).
I don't think it can work that way. as I said earlier, if you have done your own scanning, you are fully within your rights to put that copy on your Kindle and Amazon can't do anything about it. sure, they retain info on the stuff you buy, but I don't think they have the ability to read anything on your Kindle that didn't come from them
